Message from the Chairperson

Toshinao Goda
Chairperson of Executive Committee of Shizuoka Forum on Health and Longevity

Shizuoka Forum on Health and Longevity has been held every year since 1995, and we are pleased to organize the 23rd Forum this year. The Forum has covered various subjects related to health and longevity, and the theme of this year’s Forum is “Health and Longevity in 100-year life society”.
Extension of lifespan is delightful, but low birth rates and falling population make us to take action to redesign our society to maintain resilience.
Through this Forum, we are going to provide the latest research findings and information on health and longevity. We also hope that this Forum will become an opportunity to think about intergenerational exchange and importance of preparation for elderly life from young stage.
